Former LSU football player missed Ivy League Final Jeopardy! question Tuesday
Former LSU lineman Peter Dyakowski is a smart dude.
He was a three-time All-Academic SEC team member in his four years at LSU from 2003-2006 and in 2012, the Canadian native won the CBC's "Canada's Smartest Person" show.
He just had a bit of a brain lock during the Final Jeopardy! question on Tuesday's show even as it was about a not-too-unfamiliar topic.
The question was about Ivy League Schools. Four have animal nicknames. Three have colors. What's the nickname of the other, a Christian denomination?

After missing the final question, Dyakowski walked home with $1,000 from the show taped in February. But hey, he still has the title of "Canada's Smartest Person" and a sweet nickname. He was called "The Mullet" for the hair he had in his first two seasons at LSU. He currently plays in the CFL for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
